Perculiar
I decided to use more then 10 lines... because I could
Her heels clicked on the marble staircase
Red like blood, and making her look far taller than she really was
Her skirt was tight; fitting against her slim body
She had little range of motion in that skirt
It annoyed her
But no matter, she had a mission
Being an aspiring artist, one must find inspiration
In whatever, whomever, or wherever
She, unlike most, found hers in the largest of buildings
Not the building itself, nor any random building
No, no
That just wouldn’t do
She found her inspiration was set ablaze in the museums
Beautiful artistry lined thousands of square feet
And silence flowed from every mouth like honey
It was her haven
And today was Like any other, only this time she picked something a bit more excited
The museums of tunne
It was Finnish, the name
Other languages always gave her a pep in her step
So, she found something with both things she loved
Though, yes, she loved other languages, she hadn’t quite gotten around to learning Finnish
With Spanish, French, German, and Arabic
Finnish hadn’t come up
So truly, this would be a surprise on what she would find
Making it to the doors, she could already see all the EXHIBITS
Sparkling, seeming untouchable, and fragile

The artifacts, and painting, and sculptures were very odd
They seems out of place and miss configured
One In particular was especially intriguing

Like a diamond in rotation, every time you moved, even slightly, it wasn’t what is was before
First it was a small grave, then, moving slightly to the left, it was a brain that looked to be melting
It went on like this about 15 times, shifting into something new on every turn
It was peculiar- strange
But it sparked her interest; INHABITING much space in her mind
She didn’t mind though
With inspiration hitting like a train, she whipped out her sketch book and began to do what she did best: she made art
Her hands moved, grace and poise wherever her pencil was placed
Finding a bench, she sat and drew
Getting up every once and awhile to see what thing she would see next
Finally, she finished
The sun had set now, and her skirt annoyed her more then ever but none of that matter now
She had made a masterpiece
A peculiar lament
